Kalogon, a smart seating startup based in Melbourne, is hiring an Executive Assistant/Office Manager to help the Executive Team manage schedules, travel, and serve part of the team who helps things run smoothly. The ideal candidate has supported a CEO or other similar executives as well as managed general office operations.
The scope is broad and every day is different! You might be figuring out how to move 25 people and their offices, writing a policy for visitors, negotiating with a travel partner, juggling meetings, or doing an ad hoc project designed by one of the members of the Executive Team.

You have to be comfortable knowing the job on day 1 will be different on day 30 – and that you get to drive that change too.
